General Information / Changes

The gameplay score display can now also display both current score and combo.

Rival OBJECTS can now be toggled on or off.

Score bonuses are split into 2 different but concurrent bonuses: the original MISS count bonus and a new one similar to the Upper Points used in REFLEC BEAT groovin'!! Upper.

All of the BEMANI MUSIC FOCUS and most of the KONAMI original songs new to REFLEC BEAT groovin'!! Upper (including the BEMANI SUMMER DIARY 2015 songs) are unlocked by default now.

All RENEWAL charts from VOLZZA are also unlocked by default, as are all the songs from the First to Third Phases of the Pastel-kun to Gakkii-hakase no dokidoki rhythm kenkyujou (パステルくんとガッキー博士のドキドキリズム研究所) event.

All other VOLZZA songs, as well as songs from other game events, or songs that required specific requirements for unlocking, are still hidden, as are the FLOOR INFECTION songs.

All new VOLZZA 2 songs have SPECIAL charts, and are unlocked by number of plays on the song's HARD chart and clear rank:

one play with a AAA+ rank;

two plays with a AAA rank;

three plays with a AA rank;

five plays with an A rank and below.

Most SPECIAL charts from REFLEC BEAT groovin'!! and REFLEC BEAT groovin'!! Upper can also be unlocked this way.

The CODE BREAKING RETURNS unlocking system started on April 28th, 2016. By touching Pastel-kun on the lower right of the music selection screen, a cryptogram is shown with a katakana anagram for a song title.
